Clemson experienced their second loss of the season Saturday as rivals South Carolina beat the Tigers 31-30 in Death Valley, ending the Tigers’ game home win streak and seven-game win streak against the Gamecocks.
It was a poor performance from the Tigers 10-2 (8-0 ACC), who had more than enough opportunities to win this game but flopped when it mattered the most. There were many things wrong with how the team played this Saturday, as the players and coaches both got outclassed on the Tigers’ home field.
It was a complete letdown from the Tigers and their coaching staff as their playoff hopes ended with this loss.
Here are five takeaways I believe to be some of the most important from Clemson’s Week 13 loss against South Carolina.
